The Historic
Recrudescence Guild is a school of historical swordsmanship
based in Anchorage, Alaska. As a chapter of the Selohaar
Fechtschule, we follow the curriculum created by its principal
instructor, internationally-known researcher, instructor, and
combatant Christian
Henry Tobler. The group meets to research, study, and practice
the martial arts of medieval Germany under the guidance of instructor
David Teague, a personal student of Mr. Tobler's. The Historic Recrudescence Guild focuses on the Fechtbücher, or "fight books", of the masters of the tradition arising from the teachings of the 14th century grandmaster Johannes Liechtenauer. We use the treatises ascribed to Sigmund Ringeck, Peter von Danzig, Paulus Kal, Hans Talhoffer, Peter Falkner, and others, whose commentaries on Liechtenauer's secret verses constitute the medieval German Kunst des Fechtens (Art of Fighting). These manuscripts document the use of the longsword, dagger, poleaxe, and unarmed combat, both in and out of armour, on foot and on horseback. We welcome all those interested in reviving this fascinating and chivalric martial art!
